Brian Shaw was charged with four runs, a blown save and a loss as part of the Royals' seven-run eighth-inning on Monday.

Terry Francona used just two relievers during the implosion, as Jeff Manship came on after Shaw retired two of the six hitters he faced. Manship was charged with three additional runs before finally escaping the inning. The poor outing snapped a streak of 13 straight scoreless appearances for Shaw. He had just dragged his ERA under 4.00 for the first time as he worked to recover from a horrendous start (he gave up nine runs in his first four appearances this year and just seven more in the 39 appearances prior to tonight).

Indians manager Terry Francona said late Tuesday that he's going to stick with Bryan Shaw in the eighth inning.

Shaw gave up a two-run homer to Salvador Perez in Tuesday's loss to the Royals and has now been scored upon in three straight appearances. But the right-hander had been on a pretty good roll before that and Francona sees his luck swinging back around. "He's been a good pitcher for us," said the Cleveland skipper. "His stuff is good. We can't run away from guys when they have a tough week. That doesn't make sense to me." Jun 15 - 10:49 AM

Bryan Shaw pitched a perfect ninth inning in Tuesday's 2-0 victory over the Rays to earn his second save.

Shaw struck out Colby Rasmus, then got consecutive ground outs from Hank Conger and Marwin Gonzalez to end the game. Regular closer Cody Allen hasn't pitched since July 3, but it's not clear why he wasn't used to close out Tuesday's game. Shaw has had a terrific season, sporting a 1.82 ERA with a 29/10 K/BB ratio in 29 2/3 innings. Tue, Jul 7, 2015 10:50:00 PM

Michael Brantley (shoulder) is slated to resume swinging a bat in late December.

Brantley had a lost 2016 season following a pair of shoulder surgeries, but the hope is that he's ready for the beginning of spring training. Still, he has to be considered a major question mark heading into 2017.

Cody Anderson underwent an arthroscopic debridement of his right elbow on Wednesday.

Anderson is expected to begin throwing in eight weeks and should be fine for the start of spring training next February, though he'll face an uphill battle for an Opening Day roster spot after registering a rough 6.68 ERA and 1.62 WHIP across 60 2/3 innings (nine starts, 10 relief appearances) for the Indians in 2016. Maybe the elbow was to blame.
